About

Where politics meets
interface design.

Studying at the intersection of social systems, data, and human-computer interaction.

I came to HCI research through political science — specifically, how systems are designed to shape behavior. Digital interfaces operate on similar logics: structuring choice, diffusing responsibility, manufacturing consent.

I'm currently affiliated with an HCI research lab, pursuing a double major in Political Science & International Relations and Data Science. My research interests sit at the boundary of privacy, behavioral interface design, and human-AI interaction.

Research Interests

01

Privacy UX

Cookie consent interfaces, notice-and-choice models, and the conditions under which users are guided to disclose more than intended.

02

Illusion of Control

How UI affordances manufacture perceived agency without granting actual influence — in feeds, settings panels, and consent flows.

03

AI-Assisted Decision Making

Interface design in AI-augmented systems, and how UI framing shifts moral accountability between human and machine.

04

Human-AI Alignment

How users form mental models of AI systems through interface interaction — and where alignment between intent and behavior breaks down.

05

Sustainability-Related UX Fatigue

When eco-UX features produce disengagement rather than behavioral change, and the role of interface friction and emotional tone.
